Hi, everyone.
Here is the announcement for the practice on the December 9th.
[Genre] interpretation
[Subject] radio commercial
[How to] 1 I want you to be divided into 4 or 5 groups as usual.
2 I want each group to select a representative.
3 Representatives will get together and do “rock-paper-scissors” and decide the order to pull a sheet of Japanese radio commercial scenarios.
4 The first winner pick up one from those sheets which are placed up- side down. And the second , the third , and the rest do the same thing one by one.
5 The representatives show it to their members.
6 Each member interpret the scenario into English by oneself.
You don’t have to stick to the Japanese, you can also arrange the expression as you like, you can change the name of the company at your convenience.
7 Around at 6:00pm, read aloud and show what you wrote one by one, and select the best scenario among the group to make a presentation. Or you can mixture your works. And also select representatives to perform.
8 Around at 6:20pm, presentation starts from group No1.
(1)First, I will ask the roles of the representatives, and then perform your works in English..
(2)Second, perform the original Japanese scenario to make the listeners easier to understand .
(3)Third, perform your English scenario again.
9 Other groups make presentations as the same as above.
I hope you can enjoy the simple humor of those scenarios. And make sure to listen carefully as you listen to a radio.
Thank you,
Iwai Megumi
